Pete, On your #3 problem. Look into the warm up regulator. This may be the problem providing the tune up and timing and what I would call standard things have already been addressed.

I noted three problems with the car I am looking at: 1 - A clank from the pass. side rear when turning. 2 - The pedal is hard to push and you push way down but the car never seems to stop in the time that is should - It just takes too long to stop. 3 - The engine seriously lacked power. Staring in the middle of the hill was virtaully impossible. I go faster on my 10 speed. Dump the pedal to the floor and it had no effect really. It will get up to the desired speed very slowly. On the freeway, I was never able to get the "passing gear" on the automatic to kick in. The car is a July 1981 with 37k miles. thanks pete To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnews Your use of Yahoo!
